With the recent crazy price increase of some commodities, it has brought a lot of inconvenience to people's lives, and the purchasing power has declined, and the price increase of soft commodities has also been affected here. The factors leading to this phenomenon are still related to social economy. People's demand for soft goods is on the rise, but related production enterprises have closed down because some enterprises failed to survive in the epidemic, and the number of remaining enterprises is small. With such a large demand and rising raw materials, the pricing of goods by enterprises will continue to rise. Moreover, the spot price is generally rising now, and the productivity of raw materials is obviously insufficient, which leads to the rise of futures prices.

In the past few weeks, the prices of soft commodities such as coffee, sugar and cocoa have generally risen, among which the February delivery futures of coffee 65438 have risen by nearly 15% so far, and began to rise sharply in mid-July, reaching a four-month high in early August, and the price of coffee soared at the end of March. Because of the shortage of raw materials, the price increase of these commodities has caused the increase of production costs of enterprises, and the increase of production costs is also the main reason for the increase of commodity prices.

In the financial market, bulk commodities refer to homogeneous and tradable commodities widely used as industrial basic raw materials, while soft commodities are generally considered as about 20 kinds of agricultural and sideline products: corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, oats, barley, rye, pork breast, pigs, live cattle, calves, soybean powder, soybean oil, cocoa, coffee, cotton, wool and sugar.

With the change of eating habits in China in recent years and the increasing diversification of food demand, it is impossible. Self-sufficiency? We need imports to make up the gap. In this case, China's demand for white sugar continues to rise, and its output is far less than the demand. We need imports to make up for a third of the gap. After experiencing large fluctuations during the epidemic, the prices of coffee and cocoa were relatively stable. However, because the spot demand is greater than the production, the price rises, and the related enterprises that make finished products also raise prices. In fact, in the process of buying vegetables, we will find that the prices of beef and pork are rising recently.
